Advantages and strengths

The main advantage of the GAMT 3 Gammare lies in their ability to faithfully imitate a prey readily eaten by trout and grayling. Their compact profile and calibrated density allow effective presentation in current seams, vegetated margins and riffles where gammarus naturally occur. Devaux’s high-quality tying provides excellent wear resistance and a stable silhouette that retains attraction after many casts.

In action, the fly maintains a natural and convincing drift, reducing refusals and increasing strike rates. It excels when fish are selective, offering a high-performance alternative to more classical nymphs. Its versatility makes it a staple fly to keep at the top of the box all season.

Usage tips

To get the best from the GAMT 3 Gammare flies, favor a discreet approach with an indicatorless nymph setup or a controlled drift. Use a fine tippet and short drifts along vegetation-rich margins. In reservoirs, alternate slow retrieves and static drifts near the bottom to trigger stationed fish. Minimal animation is usually enough: let the fly work in the seam and keep contact to feel subtle takes.

Adapt your depth to current activity by adjusting drift speed. In clear, cold water, opt for shallow presentations and a soft but prompt strike. In more turbulent conditions, increase leader control to preserve bite detection and avoid drag.

Testimonials

“Tested as soon as it became available, the Devaux Gammare GAMT 3 proved incredibly consistent on educated trout. Its imitative profile holds the drift without failing and tolerates intensive fishing. On weeded river margins, it became my first choice when fish ignore classic nymphs.”
